Aries

Helping a friend, especially with transport or driving, puts some fun back into daily life and gives you the chance to see new places. Be patient, though, if you’re teaching someone to drive. Screaming at them won’t help! A partner wants to call the shots and doesn’t listen to reason, especially about a foreign get-away. Put discussion about it on the back burner until things cool down.  

Taurus

You’re not a puppet on a string! Put a limit on dogs bodying for someone who just wants her own way or you’ll be run into the ground. You’re not comfortable with a proposed money deal so talk it through with an older family member. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Happily, a goal you’ve been working towards starts to show real results.   

Gemini

Today the cosmos shows you that some things you can control, others you can’t. Talking honestly with a partner achieves things and you can iron out doubts about a venture and feel in control. You believe in second chances and it’s in your nature to fight an underdog’s corner. Speak out and do your best but it’s really out of your hands. A friend abroad has special news.  

Cancer

Whether you’re the lynch-pin in a group or a star at work, people can’t do without you but you really want to socialise. Shop for new gear and wear it with style for a big night out. Boost energy levels with exercise and give serious thought to doing a charity marathon, even if sport isn’t your usual thing. You love change, and you’re drawn towards animal welfare now.  

Leo

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEO – You’re super-dutiful today, tackling a problem that is everyone’s and no-one’s, and an old friend you meet unexpectedly provides a useful connection to solve it. What matters today isn’t just that something works but that it works well, so go the extra mile for quality. The feedback from saying what you think about someone’s muddles could be scary! See the bigger picture and avoid unnecessary arguments.   

Virgo

Stay flexible about work if a new possibility comes up. You’re ideal for something you never reckoned you could handle so have another think. If the money’s good, why wait? You’ve got a long must-do list of your own but if you let your family call the shots, your time will be spent running after them. Get selfish but show sympathy for someone in trouble.   

Libra

Your talents or music must find outlets. If lack of confidence dogs you, overcome it by believing those who believe in you. You and a partner need to escape your usual environment and blow cobwebs away. Visit a local town you’ve never been to, take in a country pub, or see an exhibition. A female family member is moody so tip-toe around a delicate situation.   

Scorpio

Helping a friend, especially with transport or driving, puts some fun back into daily life and gives you the chance to see new places. Be patient, though, if you’re teaching someone to drive. Screaming at them won’t help! A partner wants to call the shots and doesn’t listen to reason, especially about a foreign get-away. Put discussion about it on the back burner until things cool down.  

Sagittarius

You can’t leave any stone unturned with a work related educational choice so explore retraining possibilities. There could be something there for you. Find out facts if an older child – or relative – behaves out of character. You’re sympathetic, but tough love may be needed. If something annoys you in your relationship, don’t assume that a partner knows how you feel – just tell him or her.   

Capricorn

A money matter you thought might have been dodgy turns out OK and to your relief, cash clouds lift fast. Your practical nature saves the day at home and your good sense steers friends away from crackpot ideas. You can also make sure someone doesn’t burn her boats in a fit of temper. Property matters are fraught, but new keys and a fresh start are coming. 

Aquarius

You’re a tortoise and someone’s a hare but you’ll get there in the end and complete a project. Keep fast movers on side, though. You may need their help. You appreciate plain speaking even if it isn’t what you want to hear so be open to advice about your lifestyle. If time is crawling by over a wrangle in your neighbourhood, a formal letter moves things on. 

Pisces

Pisces often believe that money comes when you need it. Well, it’s tumbling in now and it won’t take long to realise what it’s needed for. It gives you freedom to travel, and to help friends and good causes. Two women in your life usually don’t see eye to eye and give opposite advice about a family squabble. Who should you listen to? Maybe just toss a coin!
